Geomagnetic disturbances are transient fluctuations in Earth’s magnetic field induced by solar activity, notably through phenomena such as coronal mass ejections. These disturbances can generate ...

A solar or geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere - the area around Earth controlled by the planet's magnetic field - often caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Geomagnetic storms could impact the power grid, satellites and GPS technology. "Storm conditions are anticipated to occur overnight as CME progression continues," NOAA said on its website.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center says a severe geomagnetic storm is possible Sunday night.

A geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance of Earth's magnetosphere that occurs when there is an exchange of energy from the solar wind into the space environment surrounding Earth, according to NOAA.
